Storytelling with Google Lit Trips

“Lit Trips are downloadable files that mark the journeys of characters from famous literature on the surface of Google Earth. Along the way, placemarks with pop-up windows contain “just in time” resources including relevant media, thought-provoking discussion starters, and links to supplementary information about “real world” references in that portion of the story.” (Welcome to GLT. (2018). Retrieved from http://www.googlelittrips.org/ )
Google Lit Trips can deepen learners’ understanding of a story, as well as aid in developing empathy. Creating and experiencing a Google Lit Trip can stretch student perceptions of the world in new and unique ways.

There you will find titles like: MacBeth, In Search of Beowulf, Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man, WWII Locations: Farewell to Manzanar, Hiroshima, and Night, The Odyssey, A Long Walk to Water, Bud, Not Buddy and many more!
